Bluefield Intermediate teacher Jessica Bulson had a full-circle moment today with one of her former students, now Bluefield Beaver football standout Jeremiah Jones.

Back in 4th grade, Jeremiah’s photo landed in the newspaper playing football in a church yard. Mrs. Bulson told him to sign it—“for when you get famous.”

Today, when the Championship-bound Beavers visited BIS, she pulled out that same photo and asked him to sign it again for good luck. And Jeremiah gave her the biggest, most heart-melting hug. 🏈

Moments like this remind us just how powerful a teacher’s impact can be. They plant seeds long before students even know what they’ll grow into—and watching those dreams unfold is nothing short of magic. ✨
